Answer:
22.95feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The Kite's length is 24ft and it flies at 17° as in the diagram attached.
The Kite's new ground position is C.
#Apply Sine Rule to get the distance BC:
[tex]\frac{a}{Sin \ A}=\frac{b}{Sin \ B}=\frac{c}{Sin \ C}\\\\\frac{24}{Sin \ 90 \textdegree}=\frac{BC}{Sin \ (90-17)\textdegree}\\\\BC=24\ Sin \ 73\textdegree\\\\BC=22.95 \ ft[/tex]
Hence, the distance from the original position is 22.95feet.
